Russian Peasants Migrating to Siberia.

NAAS ~ oAAh6 ~ SApCAiss
The tide Of emigration Of the Russian
peasantry into Siberia is largely on the in
crease. There is no official registration OF
the numbers; but in 1886 there passed
through Syzra.d alone 500, coming from
the central provinces. Others in large
numbers proceed by sea to the Anoor in
the far east. The disturbance of popula-
ton is not limited to movement beyond
the European frontiers, but prevails &C
lively within it.
One hundred thousand colonists have
lately migrated to the banks of the Kie-
ban, and the Rural bank is assisting many
other thousands to establish themselves
in New Russia. With the exception of
the last there is little or no organization
in any of these movements; the people
simply seem impelled by impotence of
their present lot and a blind desire of
change, and they go forth not knowing
whittier they so. Many Of them return
to their original settlements after a longer
or shorter absence, moro destitute than
they went forth, but far the larger num-
Der are never heard Of more They are
lost in the yastness Of the soEtudes into
which they plunge.
There IS no government Organization
whatever in many of the places they go
to; no information is available before they
start as TO the best routes, the capabilities
OF soil or the conditions of climate and
season. II they succeed it is only after
enduring unheard Of hardships, which
might have been spared them if there ex-
listed department charged with the reg

The instances of failure are, it is to be
feared, the rule, and when the disaster
happens beyond the reach Of railways and
steamers the world, even OF Russia, never

James Speed, who was LlncoIn's atror-

story recently told about Lincoln writing
his famous Gettysburg Grafton on his knee

called it forth. Mr.. Speed says: 81 was

were attracted by the lighted lamp, and
one of them, commonly known as miller,

caused by the huttering insect as it entered

sufferer crazy. During the night following
the occurrence oil disagreeable sensations
disappeared, and Mr.. Stab thought that
the insect mad been removed. he expert

had passed became deaf A physician was
called, and as the patients symptoms BE-
came more alarming, serious results were
feared. Milk poultices were applied, and
Mr.. Stab bathed his ear with salt water.
On the second day after beginning this
treatment Mr.. Stab again experienced the
futtering sensation in his ear, and was ut

his ear, fly several feet, and then collapse

TO THE HOLDERS
Virginia COnSOlS and 1910 Bonds

We are authorized by the council of foreign
bondholders TO call the attention of holders OF
Virginia consols and 1040s to the fact that the
English bondholders are endeavoring, through the
Instrumentality of the council of foreign bond
holders, to bring about satisfactory settlement OF
the debt of Virginia.
With this object in view, the English bond
holders have to large extent, agreed to pool
their bonds and have authorized the council OF
foreign bondholder5 to act for them in the nego-
tiations which are about to be had between a COM
mission sent out from London and committee ap-
pointed by tho Legislature of Virginia
1t is most desirable that all holders of Virginia
bonds, both at homo and abroad, should unite in
the effort to effect an early settlement of the
State debt. To hettor accomplish this object the
council of foreign bondholders earnestly request
the holders of Virginia bonds in America to CO.
operate with them and to forward to ourselves
their names and addresses, stating the amount of
bonds held at as carly day as possible.
We will be glad to furnish copies of the plan
adopted by the English bondholders FOR pooling
their bonds at London, and to give any other in
formation that may be desired.
